Gender, Women’s Representation, Ecuador, Gender Agenda, DepatriarchalizationAbstract
Our paper consists of an exploratory case study on the relationship between women`s political representation and the incorporation of the gender agenda in Ecuador. We aim to analyze how the descriptive representation of women in the Ecuadorian legislative power impacts the substantive representation of women in terms of public policies focused on gender issues and women's rights. The theoretical framework is based on feminist perspectives of International Relations. We carried out an exploratory case study on women`s representation in the National Assembly of the Republic of Ecuador analyzing: 1) proposed bills focused on gender issues; 2) the performance of female elected representatives in the context of the post-implementation of legislative quota policies. We understand that the descriptive representation of women has impacted the substantive representation of women in Ecuador since the presence of female deputies together with approved bills contributed to the process of depatriarchalization and transformation of the masculine hegemonic system promoting equality between men and women in society.
